Mother's Day

I had high hopes for this move but that soon went away 30 minutes in.

Mother's Day is a feel-good movie and it makes for a good one-time watch.

With previous dreck such as 2010's "Valentine's Day" and 2011's "New Year's Eve" one can imagine what other arbitrary calendar concoction that Marshall can lazily muster up to showcase as a companion piece to his string of hapless holiday treats?

Audiences who like a shred of cohesive story telling or characterization, or even a chuckle during a supposed comedy, should stay very far away.

There are a couple of nicely barbed lines, but this is a film so syrupy on the whole you may want to keep hold of that empty popcorn bucket lest nausea strikes.
